Dr. Gerald W. Bird has served the Cocoa, FL community with oral and maxillofacial surgical care since founding our practice in October 1985. With decades of surgical experience and a commitment to patient-centered care, he has built a reputation for integrity, precision, and compassion. His approach to oral surgery prioritizes clear communication, thoughtful treatment planning, and personalized attention to every patient's needs.
Dr. Bird understands that undergoing surgery can be stressful, which is why he strives to make each patient feel informed, supported, and comfortable from the very first visit. He believes that successful outcomes are built on trust, and he works to create a calm, respectful environment where patients never feel like just another case.
Dr. Bird earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Western Michigan University before completing his dental degree at the University of Detroit Mercy in 1980. After a one-year general practice residency, he went on to complete a three-year residency in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Allen Park, Michigan.
He is board-certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and a Fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. He also holds membership in the American Dental Association and the Florida Dental Association, where he was named Dentist of the Year in 2019. Dr. Bird remains an active participant in both clinical and leadership roles within the profession.
Health and wellness are important parts of Dr. Bird's daily life. As a dedicated triathlete, he values discipline, balance, and long-term well-being. He brings that same mindset to his work, believing that consistency and care are key to building trust with patients.
Dr. Bird and his wife have two grown children. His son, Kevin, works in pediatric surgery, and his daughter, Stephanie, is a business professional based in Colorado. Time with family is something he deeply values, and he remains closely connected with his children no matter where life takes them.
Literally 10Β² stars! π€―π§‘β¨οΈI have never had a better experience with a dental practice! From calling with MANY questions, having consult and scheduling, to how I feel the day after surgery (today), EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE has been 100% AMAZING! π₯° And I am of the type who is full of so much fear that I let my bad tooth go until I could no longer risk the infection for fear of dying! π«£ lolDr Johnson, ty so much for being you. And ty Ellery for the same! The 2 ladies behind the desk were equally amazing helping me schedule and set up carecredit as well as allowing my husband and toddler to hang out and rearrange the waiting area! Lol π π€£I had 2 teeth removed yesterday. 1 was just shards sticking out of gums. I literally have been moving around and can barely tell it even happened! Im beyond grateful and I love you all so much! πIf you are unsure about using this practice, don't be. Call π Bird and Johnson today, your mouth will thank you! πππ
I have just had my second procedure with Dr Bird and have to say heβs amazing. Kind, gentle, and puts you at ease. The office staff show you nothing but kindness and professionalism from making appointments to walking you through what to expect. Iβm returning for an implant and wish he provided all dental care.
First visit to the Bird and Johnson Oral Surgery practice. It was seamless as a referral from my dentist in Winter Springs. Welcoming staff, efficient and professional staff. Thank you to all.
Best experience to get a tooth extracted! Got my appt when I needed it, friendly staff, Dr. Johnson was great and fast!! I highly recommend going to Bird & Johnson. They also removed my wisdom teeth & another tooth in the past.
The Team at Bird & Johnson are absolutely the best!!! Their prices beat other oral surgeons in the area and the customer service beats their prices by a long shot. They are so attentive and accommodating. My wife has several medical issues and she has had no issues at all with any of her visits with them. Thus, she has had three teeth extracted with bone build-up and an implant and we wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
